Abstract

Dimetalation of aliphatic 2-alkynes was observed in mild conditions in ether solution. Only 2-butyne has undergone monometalation exclusively. The dilithio compounds of 1- and 2-alkynes were attacked by electrophiles first at the 3-position. A 1.3-sigmatropic shift occurred in the monolithioallenes to give terminal acetylides. Metalation of 3-alkyne gave only a monolithiated compound in the conditions studied.
